How to convert an image from URL to Drawable

I'm having a problem converting an image to a Drawable object. I'm converting the image using:

public Drawable LoadImageFromWebOperations(String url) {
    try {
        InputStream is = (InputStream)new URL(url).getContent();
        Drawable d = Drawable.createFromStream(is, "src name");
        return d;
    } catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println("Exc=" + e);
        return null;
    }
}

I'm trying to put the Drawable in a HashMap and insert that into a ListAdapter, however the value of the Drawable always is something like android.graphi开发者_运维知识库cs.drawable.BitmapDrawable@405359b0 instead of an integer and I get the message in logcat

resolveUri failed on bad bitmap uri".

this is how I put the Drawable in the HashMap:

map.put("cover", String.valueOf(
    Main.this.LoadImageFromWebOperations("http://www.asdfasfs.com/dasfas.jpg")));

Why do you expect the drawable to be an integer? It is an object you can assign to an imageView.

There are items in your project you can refer to with their ID, that is true, but that is something else.

R.drawable.icon is not a Drawable, in the same sense that R.view.your_Button is not a Button. You would call something like getViewFromId() on that. If you have a function that works like this:

 doSomethingWithView(R.view.id);

Then it would not work with (pseudocode ofcourse)

 myView = new Button();
 doSomethingWithView(myView);

So if your function works with a R.drawable.id, it is highly unlikely that it works with a Drawable (except with overloading ofcourse).
